Shell-ebrate good times, c’mon, as the OG Steamhouse Lounge Oysterfest returns to Midtown Atlanta for its 37th year on Saturday, February 22nd, and Sunday, February 23rd. Produced by Rival Entertainment, seafood fanatics are in for a dream weekend with heaping buckets of fresh roasted oysters, chargrilled oysters on the half-shell topped with garlic and parmesan, Steamhouse’s legendary lobster bisque, fried oyster po’boys, ice-cold beer, cocktails, and much more.

Located just two blocks from the Steamhouse Lounge’s iconic beach house on the corner of 11th and West Peachtree, Atlanta’s original Oysterfest will showcase musical talent from across the country in perfect tune with the vibe and soul of Atlanta’s favorite street party. Artists performing over the weekend include Davis & The Love, Dumpstaphunk, Francisco Vidal, The Happy Hour, Kranberries, The Nth Power, Smokey Jones and The 3 Dollar Pistols, and Sucker Punch.
